Independence Day: The transfer station will be closed on Saturday, July 4. There will be no changes to curbside service due to the holiday.
Road resurfacing: Each year the town focuses its paving resources on roadways that are in poor condition. Various road resurfacing methods will be used to improve our roads. This summer, some type of preservation process will be completed on the following: Old Field Road, Granby Farms Road, Indian Hill Drive, Gristmill Lane, Strawberry Fields, Pine Woods Road, Deerwood Drive, Danielle Road, Muriel Drive, Evangeline Place, Sullivan Drive, Aster Drive and High Ridge Drive.
Prep work, including basin replacement, has begun on these roads. The paving will begin in August. Until that time, please be aware of raised structures in the roadway. While work is in progress, please use caution and pay attention to flaggers directing traffic.
Signs on the town green: Prior to placing a sign on any town property, including the town green, approval must be received from the Town Manager’s office. The request form can be found under the Residents link on the Town of Granby website.
Ashes: Do not put any fireplace or firepit ashes in your trash barrel. A single ember can remain live (still able to ignite) for up to 96 hours. If a barrel is melted or damaged by ashes, the cost of replacing the barrel will be the responsibility of the resident.
Extra trash bags: Available at Granby Public Works, 52 North Granby Road from 7:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Transfer Station during hours of operation and at Beman Hardware.
